How hard is it to change the fork seals. I have an 05 and my seals are starting to leak. Also what are recomendations on what seals to buy.

I just changed the fork seals on my 01'. My new rules of thumb:

1- Yamaha OEM parts only!
2- Make sure to change the bushings as well
3- Buy the Fork Seal Driver (It will make your like a whole lot easier. Ask me how I know)

If you have the right tools it's actually pretty damn simple. If you want to parts list to buy just let me know and I'll make one up for you. It's pretty inexpensive. The tool will cost more than all the parts combined but it will serve you the rest of the life of the bike. If you ever sell the bike, just sell the new owner the tool!
